 cat sitting advice

There will be times in your life when you need to get out of the house and you won't always be able to take your cat with you, no matter how well behaved it is. If you have to go out of town, it's important to make sure your cat's health is maintained while you're away. For this job, you will need a cat sitter. When you hire a cat sitter, be sure to provide them with useful information about your cats so you can rest assured that they are safe and healthy.

Ideally, your cat sitter will be someone you already know. Neighborhood teenagers are good protectors of cats, as are their loved ones. You can also call the pet care company if you don't intend to find anyone else. Whoever cares for your cat, make sure they are trustworthy and responsible and come to your home at the right time every day. If you have multiple cats or other pets, or if you are going away for more than a week, you should ask someone you know to spend the night at your house.

Before you leave, create an easy-to-read sheet of important information. Start by listing your cats: include names, coat colors, special diets and medications, likes and dislikes, and favorite hiding places. You should also include detailed step-by-step instructions on how to care for your cat and phone numbers for you and your veterinarian.

Make sure everything you need to care for your cat is accessible and accessible. For example, don't forget to leave a can opener with your cat sitter! If one of your cats becomes sick or injured, your cat's sitter will need to call the veterinarian and possibly even visit the veterinarian. Place the phone in an easy-to-locate location and keep the case near the door. Also, make sure your cat's sitter easily finds all cleaning supplies, including litter box equipment.

If one of your cats needs veterinary care, you will of course have to pay the veterinary bill. Leave a $20 bill (or more if you're gone longer) with the cat sitter for your cat's own use. Also, call your veterinarian to let them know you're going out of town. Give the veterinarian your credit card number, a phone number where you can be reached, and the name of the cat sitter, stating that he will act on your behalf until you return home. This will keep your cat safe and healthy even when you're away.
